Quote from label: "Suffocating home-brewed hypnotic sludge rock from the northern swamps. On their fifth full length album Finnish sludge rockers Fleshpress evolve from their days as a rough, gritty metal machine towards the unknown. These three long tracks ebb and flow with an organic pulse, from slowly meditative passages to black swamp-sludge metal. An unsettling but oddly beautiful experience."

Quote from label: 2017 full length album is logical continuum of progression as band has taken approach further into more ripping, aggressive and fierce approach. Less psychedelic, more distorted and progressive songs. Fleshpress is known for approaching albums as studio-live sessions.
"Hulluuden Muuri" is first album with permanent synth & percussion member, enabling also those elements to be performed live. This adds another dimension to dynamics of songs. First album in Finnish language increases depth and intensity also for vocals. Same physicality and rough intensity is present in artwork of album.

Quote from label: "HANGMAN's CHAIR's fifth album is a trip down to their roots : the parisian suburbs, its bleakness and its nightlife. Going the same way as « This is not supposed to be positive » did in 2015, « Banlieue Triste » displays an even darker and colder atmosphere with more reverb and chorus, drowning itself into deep melancholy. Featuring notable guests (James from Perturbator and Marc from Mongolito and Wolvennest) and a careful blend of instrumentals (« Tara » « Sidi Bel Abbès »), catchy songs (« Naive » « 04 09 16 ») and down tempo tunes (« Negative Male Child »), HANGMAN'S CHAIR's new record asserts its identity and will undoubtedly leave its mark on 2018".

Quote from label: "After their last acclaimed full lenght record « This is not supposed to be positive » (2015), HANGMAN’S CHAIR is back and teams up with the stoner japanese veterans GREENMACHINE for a split LP. We can easily recognize the HANGMAN’S CHAIR style along their two new songs with this mix of heavy guitar parts and melodic vocals. GREENMACHINE offers us a new long track divided in multiple parts".

Quote from label: "Satan's disowned children are once again slipping on their hoods and frocks to give birth to one of the dirtiest and heaviest sludge/doom record of recent times. Acclaimed here and there, their previous EP "Open The Gates Of Shambhala" was our first release and allowed them to inflict tinnutus and stiffness while opening for Electric Wizard, Ramesses and many more. Now we're proud to introduce you to "Atavist Of Mann", the debut album from Brittany's own HUATA. 60 minutes as a giant middle finger to modernism : recorded in the middle of nowhere by Kristian Keyboard Production, this slow procession of anvil riffs smoke-filled enough to make your mouth feel all furry, of liturgical atmospheres played with Hammond organ and clean vocals singed by the devil himself will pervert the most innocent souls. Seven tracks that crown a band who has been able to go to the very bitter end of its process , musically as well as aesthetically, and a record meant to be a milestone, at least by outclassing menopause on the podium of the causes of prolapse."
Red vinyl version.

Quote from label: "HUATA and BITCHO decide to form an alliance to release this split LP under the sign of psychedelism. One year after their first full lenght ("Atavist of Mann", 2012), HUATA from Brittany comes back with two new tracks, a new psychedelic sludge dimension for this occult doom-stoner band that reminds SLEEP or ANCESTORS with very particular arrangements.
BITCHO from the Netherlands presents a long track (12 mn) with down tempo tunes a la GODFLESH and creeping sludge riffs with incatations. The record comes in a beautiful gatefold LP with a retro-futuristic cover made by Benjamin Moreau (HUATA)."
Limited to 500 copies.

Quote from label: "Mallorcan post-sludge demolition corp MARASME present their most recent album 'Malsons'. Their Mediterranean roots give an interesting skew to their Cult Of Luna vocal worship and Year Of No Light inflected riffing, music in this genre tends to feel cold, MARASME show that it is possible to feel isolated even under the blazing sun!

'Malsons' in Catalan means 'Nightmare', and this is explored thoroughly by the band on this release, though the dynamics of the record may shift, the tone remains heavy throughout and what clean interludes that exist are there only to underline the next crashing chunk of riff, like the pattering of rain just before the thunderclap.
The album ends on a high, almost uplifting riff on the track 'Ruines', presumably signalling the glimmer of hope on waking from the darkness.

A churning riff nightmare, this one will have post-whatever, sludge and even metal and crust fans nodding their heads".

Quote from label: "UNEARTHLY TRANCE summons forth V; an electric, urban funeral drone and their most epic full-length to date. With V the trio has come full circle; combining the expansive leanings of 'Electrocution' and 'The Trident' with the sparing, brooding doom of their earliest works. UNEARTHLY TRANCE's unwavering dedication to their principle's and craft has yielded some of America's best metal with V."

Quote from label: "Unearthly Trance explore the mind's third eye, putting to sound the heavy, doom-laden thoughts that are buried deep in all psyches. Unearthly Trance deliver chilling, hostile vibes taken straight from the mind's cold steely abyss with a merciless strike. With The Trident, Unearthly Trance has embraced its past and fused it together with a new and exciting sense of momentum. The Trident is the result of a band that has never been more focused and determined. Unearthly Trance are set to bring on the mental apocalypse."

Quote from label: "Here is the new WHITEHORSE record, this is a compilation CD called "2007-2012" with several tracks taken from vinyl splits and singles released during 5 years between their first full lenght and their second one "Raised into Darkness", just released this year by Vendetta Records. The australian sextet is one of the biggest sludge scene sensations during these last years and played the "Roadburn Festival" and the "Heavy Days in Doomtown Festival" this year. Of course, their music is very loud and slow but you can easily hear noisy tones and agressive sounds directly taken from their punk-hardcore influences. In the same vein of their first record "Progression" released in 2011 by At A Loss Recordings (BARONESS, KYLESA, BLACK COBRA, etc.), WHITEHORSE go on preaching heavyness and darkness in their music with this six songs CD".
